When the host of St. Paul’s Saturday night horror TV show dies live on air, superfan Lenny Burg, a schlubby, lonely, kosher butcher who dreams of making something more of his life, takes over as host, defying the wishes of his overbearing mother. The Jazz Singer meets Ed Wood.
Grandson to one of the original child actors in the "Our Gang" comedies of the 1930s, Aaron got the bug to work in the entertainment business from an early age. After college, Aaron chose to disappoint his Jewish mother who wanted him to go to law school by instead pursuing a career as a screenwriter. He has since written for shows on Netflix, CBS, Disney, Nickelodeon, and sold several TV and feature projects. When he's not busy disappointing his mother, Aaron enjoys hiking with his wife, playing street hockey with his sons, and obsessing over his fantasy football team.
